Re: Chroma key/Green Screen problem

Did you go through the online tutorials for Ultra? The settings can be confusing.

Thanks for the idea.

Yup, I can capture the last few mins of the tape without any problems.
And I used Canopus' DVCapture, and was able to capture the whole tape without any problems.

Video Montage in Premeire 6.5

Hi, my sister is wanting me to make a video montage for her science class. She wants to have footage of various movies and such relating to vegetables. I told her that this may not be possible without After Effects, but I simply don't know. Would I be able to do this in 6.5 or will I need to upgrade to Pro and After Effects?

Are you wanting to show multiple videos in a grid (each one of your numbers would be a different video) all playing at the same time? That kind of effect should be doable within Premiere.

To do so, use the motion control to resize the video to 33% (for a 3x3 grid) and move it to the proper location. Set the start and end positions to the same settings. You may have to play with the transparency settings to keep it from filling the rest of the frame with a solid color (blocking underlying tracks). Repeat with each clip, placing them onto separate video tracks.

I don't know how 6.5 fares, but save often in 6.0. Most of my crashes have occurred while doing stuff with three or more video tracks. One of these days I'll upgrade, but so far I've been able to get by.

Yeah, I'm wanting to do a grid and, yes, I'm using Premeire 6.5. Ok, I think that'll do the trick. Anybody else have any possible suggestions? Because I know how there are sometimes multiple ways to do something within Premeire.

OK, I followed all the instructions to the letter and it still isn't working. I now have full transport control while in HDV capture plus audio but can only see a green screen when HD footage is being played on the camera. Any other suggestions?

If you have the same problems with Aspect HD you can file a trouble ticket at www.cineform.com/support, otherwise you will need to contact Adobe (sorry I haven't heard of this fault.) If you download the Aspect HD trial you can also capture with HDLink.

full frames (uncompressed)

what are the minimun computer requirements for playing an avi uncompressed video?
I put this question because when I export to avi uncompressed (full frames) I get a "paused" playback.
Thanks for your answer.

AE Bug Fix

FYI to all,

There is a multi-language update to After Effects posted on the Adobe web site that is purely a bug fix. Current version is now 6.5.1.

Also, I see that a new version of Creative Suite is out: all apps in the suite, except the recently released Acrobat 7, are "CS2" now.

Not released or available. Merely "announced".

Should be shipping the new suite in May.

Quite so. It can be ordered now directly from Adobe and it will be "shipped by May 2005." Fry's Electronics in South Houston this morning is still selling the CS version...probably a few weeks before CS2 software hits retailer shelves.

FWIW, it looks like there are some nice enhancements from the quick look I took at the web site this morning, but didn't really see anything revolutionary, either.

PremPro Capture in quicktime (.mov)

I'm using a PC with PremPro1.5
In college I remember being able to capture in .mov format vs .avi--but now I dont see the option to capture dv footage in anything other than .avi

I prefer using quicktime over any windows based file stuff...

Is there any major difference between .mov and .avi (other than obvious platform relations)...?

Should I feel comfortable capturing in .avi? I intend switching to mac somewhere down the line....

Is it possible to capture .mov ?

any tips/pointers/clarifications are appreciated

If you can capture it good with other tools it sounds like a PPro
problem. Again, make sure you are running the latest 1.5 update.
If that doesn't help it sounds like you are stuck capturing with
an external tool....

The main strain is on your harddisk, you can easily calculate the
rate yourself, like this:

resolution x 3 (bytes per pixel) x framerate

So:

(720 x 480) x 3 x 30 = 31104000 bytes per second

31104000 / 1024 = 30375 kilobytes (KB) per second

30375 / 1024 = 29.66 megabytes (MB) per second.

So for NTSC @ 30 fps you are looking at 30 MB/s. Not a lot of
harddisks can really sustain such rates etc. You will probably
need a RAID (striped) array to get this playing normally.

However, mostly this is just used to go from one program to
another etc. Not playback.
